Month: November 2014

During this Holiday Weekend, hopefully many of you are surrounded by family and friends digesting a belly full of turkey on this post Thanksgiving Day Shabbat. Thank you, sister, Sheri Mark, for hosting this year’s Turkey Fest filled with side dish delicacies and fresh baked desserts. If you too are in a rolly-polly mood and you want to dance off that tryptophan, please enjoy this Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars:

Are you ready for the 50th anniversary tour? Arlo is getting ready himself as he re-learns the 18 minute song about the time he was arrested for littering and how it disqualified him from fighting in Viet Nam. Of course, I’m talking about Alice’s Resturant. Every 10 years Arlo Guthrie hits the road to perform this classic song/story of stupidity that actually happened to him at this friend, Alice’s Thanksgiving day celebration. Want to join me at his Michigan concert on April 30, 2015 at the Berman Theatre? http://theberman.org/arloguthrie/ And here’s the song with the lyrics, so you can along.

Nothing will bring back the life of Michael Brown and the thousands of other innocent people who’ve been wrongfully killed. Yes, racism is a problem in this county. Yes, the police possess and use excessive force (mainly) against minorities. Yes, easy access to firearms doesn’t help this volatile situation. But 12 jurors committed months to their responsibility on the Grand Jury, listened to hundreds of hours of testimony, read thousands of pages of evidence, deliberated for days and decided against an indictment. Even with this ruling, I assume officer Wilson will need to go into hiding considering the protests that erupted around the country. One city, Seattle (Tzachi, you sure you want to move back there) decided that boycotting Israel will help the Ferguson situation:

For added material to this Black/Palestinian correlation, here is an excellent article by the compassionate and educated Israel advocate Pastor Dumisani Washington (whom I follow on Facebook) on his 7 reasons why the Black struggle and the Palestinian situation should never be connected. http://tinyurl.com/lr826mg

Undocumented

There are approximately 11.4 Million unauthorized immigrants in this country with nearly 60% of them from Mexico and 25% of them living in California. This is a broken system with our government’s solution stuck on the desk of this Do-Nothing Congress. A bill was passed in the Senate to help ease this situation but the House refuses to bring it to a vote. President Obama’s executive order could ease the lives of nearly 5 million people. Many were brought here as children, worked their way through school and college only to learn later in life they were undocumented. Most just want legal status so they can live their lives and contribute to our society without the risk of deportation. I know this issue is much more complicated than just the words in this short paragraph, but if the choice is to do nothing or something, I vote for the latter.

The essence of Zionism is that Israel is the Nation for the Jewish People and (thankfully) this reality has been official for 66 years. The 1948 Declaration of Independence already states this fact. But, this week Bibi Netanyahu wanted to pass a bill reiterating the Jewish Nationhood in addition to elevating Hebrew as the only national language which would antagonize the 20% of Israelis who aren’t Jewish. Of that 20% are Druze who fight and die as IDF soldiers and police officers. This political provocation is not needed and not helpful during these turbulent times. I was confused by Bibi’s action till I spoke with the 3 most educated Israelis in my life (husband, son and son-in-law) who all agree that Bibi’s initiative is unnecessary and politically motivated solely to appease his right wing constituents and hold onto his coalition power. If he loses his coalition, Israel will set elections to elect a new Prime Minister. Voting on Bibi’s bill has been postponed till next Wednesday while the wording is still being contemplated.

UN Ambassadors

Just this week, Ambassador Ron Prosor made an impassioned speech to the global community in the (unfriendly) halls of the United Nations. Ambassador Prosor is one of my favorite advocates for Israel. His messages are always educational, historical, articulate and meaningful. If you’ve got around 10 minutes (I’m a slow reader so you might need less time), I strongly urge you to read his most recent speech:http://www.jwire.com.au/ron-proser-addresses-u-n/ And bravo to US Ambassador Samantha Powers on her distain for the European community’s lack of attendance at the conference on Anti-Semitism. Though the hatred is rising, less then 1/3 of the European nations sent representatives to the conference:

Agreeing to disagree (and delaying the negotiations for 7 months) is not a great strategy when it comes to eliminating nuclear disaster especially with Iran’s bull’s eye on Israel’s back. But this is the situation. Others invested in coming to an agreement are the surviving 39 (of the 52) Iranian hostages from 30 years ago…remember them? They’ve never been compensated since “dear” President Carter granted Iran immunity after signing their release which took place the day Reagan was sworn in. Many have suffered severely since their abduction with one who just recently committed suicide. If you are interested in more details of this case, please read this NYT article:

10 years ago Michigan voters approved a ballot proposal banning same-sex marriages. I’m not so sure it would pass with today’s Michigan voters, but that’s water over the bridge. Since that time (and after several lawsuits), 35 States have welcomed Marriage Equality and 15 States still have bans. The Michigan lawsuits (to overturn the ban) have resulted in varying court opinions but our Attorney General, Bill Scheutte, believes “the differences among the courts requires justices to step in and assert the constitutionality of voter-approved bans”. In other words, Mr. Scheutte wants the Ban to remain and is asking the Supreme Court to uphold it. I’m hoping they won’t!

Can’t say it any better than that…

Reminders

Shower Epiphanies (SE) – profound thoughts that overtake your mind in the shower’s non-disruptive environment where no phones or distractions interfere with your thought patterns. Several years ago, an article was written on life’s lessons that I assume came from those SE. Here is that advice:

I love this jazzy rendition of this popular song with the right message that we should love the body we live in. The vocals byKate Davis are smooth and pleasant and her talented fingers on the bass are mesmerizing (bass solo is half way through the song)…cuz, bottom line… its “All about that Bass”. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyTTX6Wlf1Y

Holiday Tunes

As the Holiday Season has now officially arrived, please enjoy this sweet holiday song covered by the delightful vocals of Idina Menzel and Michael Buble’ (I first fell in love with this song in the movie Elf): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbuBubZ1yE and while we are in that end of the year holiday mood, here is a real treat of all the hippest Hanukah songs mashed into one very entertaining video filmed last week in the windy city of Chicago. Enjoy this Adam Sandler Hanukah sandwich, you’ll see why if you watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqEQy6l1kzc

Wishing you and your loved ones a Pleasant and Peaceful Shabbat Shalom and a Stress-Free holiday weekend.

Marion Barry

Rest in Peace, Marion Barry, former mayor of DC as his life proves that you can rise to greatness, fall to despair and rise again by always trying to make amends.

Levine z”l (from Kansas City) were brutally murdered this week by terrorist who stormed their synagogue. Also a Druze policeman who was on the scene died the next day from gunshot wounds. Though the demented terrorist were wielding the weapons, complicity is wielded against the leaders who incite this evil via Text Books, Facebook, Social Media and Speeches which subtly and not-so subtly encourage these grass-roots massacres. But the buck doesn’t stop at the incitement, it extends to every moderate Muslim and World Leader who doesn’t condemn this brutality… and the silence is deafening.

Temple Mount

Some Facts

Palestinians are portraying these brutal murders as justification for Muslims protection of their holy Jerusalem site, yet there is no defense for any loss of innocent lives suffered at the hands of evil terrorist. Here are some facts about the Temple Mount (the supposed reason for these recent murders).

The Western Wall (known as The Wailing Wall prior to 1967) was the only remaining tangible structure to the ancient Jewish Temple. The Temple stood on the Mount right above The Western Wall. The First Temple was built around 957 BCE. It was destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed again yet the site has always been our most religious focal point.

Throughout the millennium (depending on who controlled the land), Jews have had varying access to The Ancient Temple Site. 600 years after the 2nd Temple’s destruction, a Muslim Shrine was built on the Temple Mount. Today, this space is the Jewish holiest site and Muslim’s 3rd holiest site. Muslims are the only ones allowed to pray there though non-Muslims can visit but never pray on the Temple Mount in accordance with Israeli Law. Yes, Israeli Law which most likely won’t change even with the pressure from the extreme Right Wing Jewish Movement. Until the Moderates on both sides can come to the table and make Peace, these murderous uprisings will sadly continue, but, to reiterate, The World needs louder condemnation especially when we see images of Gazans dancing in the street and passing out candy to children in celebration of these murders and Jordan’s parliament praying for the Jerusalem terrorist heroes.

More Facts

A bit more history about the region. It was named Palestine 2,000 years ago by the Romans who named it after the Philistines who lived on the land along side the Jews, though the Philistines are long gone. Jews have continuously lived there for thousands of years and as proof of their presence, here is the flag of the region in 1939.

This microcosm of attitude is what we are up against. Now, granted, this experiment took place on the very liberal Berkeley Campus, but the reaction is appalling though sadly not surprising. Check out what happens when a student waves an ISIS flag while expelling pro-ISIS anti-American sentiment versus the reaction he gets while waving an Israeli flag. This 3 minute video reflects the frustrating reality of hatred and bias:

Vienna, Austria is the scene of the Big Iranian Nuclear Talkswhich have an agreement deadline of Nov. 24th. The stakes are high for many including Iran’s economy, Obama’s legacy and Israel’s survival. For everyone’s sake, let’s hope success is achieved.

More Iran

Art imitated Life which caused prosecution of Life which then provoked more Art… this is the story of the new film,Rosewater directed by Jon Stewart. When The Daily Show aired an interview of Iranian Journalist Maziar Bahari, it caused a scandal, prison and tzuris (Yiddish for misery) for Mr. Bahari. After his release from Iranian incarceration, he penned a memoir of his experience that Jon Stewart (possibly guilt-ridden) directed into a film.

Seth and Aaron

I am a huge Aaron Sorkin fan and love his shows including Sports Night, West Wing and Newsroom and even the short-lived Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. His appearance last week on Late Night with Seth Meyers prompted a very entertaining tribute, parodying a parody, with the Ping Pong dialogue, lofty speeches, romantic interludes and other Sorkin signature styles. If you too are an Aaron Fan, you will love this video:

Hot shots in the world of music are paying tribute to the genius of Paul with the new cover album, Art of McCartney. The likes of Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Brian Wilson, Barry Gibb, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Yusuf (Cat Stevens), Billy Joel and many more lovingly covers 34 songs (running 2 hours) of Paul’s greatest hits.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Pleasant and Peaceful Shabbat Shalom and a fulfilling Thanksgiving*.

Condolences to Dulcie Rosenfeld, Jill Stone, Nancy Rosenfeld, Hank Rosenfeld, Jimmy Rosenfeld and their families on the passing of Norman Rosenfeld z’l (95) beloved husband of Dulcie for 65 1/2 years and devoted father to their four children. Norm was a Detroit enthusiast who helped grow his family’s business of Sibley’s Shoes since its founding in 1920. The Rosenfeld’s contributions to Detroit are immeasurable as Dulcie and her family continue this wonderful legacy. May Norman’s spirit, memory and love bring comfort to those who mourn his passing.

Condolences to Marcia and Bruce Balonick of Chicago on the passing of Bruce’s mother, June Balonick z’l.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Balonick family during this difficult time of mourning.

Rest in Peace, famed director, producer, writer, comedian and winner of all Four Awards (Emmy, Oscar, Grammy and Tony) Mike Nichols z”l (83), who unexpectedly passed away this week. As a child in Germany, he and his family escaped to the U.S. before the Nazis could reach them. He went on to Greatness with films like The Graduate and plays like The Odd Couple. Condolences to his wife Diane Sawyer and all who loved him and his work.

In 1969 she was convicted of a Terrorist Attack that killed 2 people in Jerusalem and wounded several others. She was given Life in Prison but only spent a decade locked up till her release through a prisoner exchange of 76 Arab convicts for 1 Israeli soldier. In 1995 she boarded a plane to the United States, lied about her conviction and through the Immigration Process became a US Citizen happily living in Detroit and then Chicago for the last 20 years. Well now that Immigration Process has caught up with her deception. Bravo to, friends Barb and Dan (at the U.S. Attorney’s Office) for righting the wrong and convicting Rasmieh Odeh on Immigration Fraud. She will most likely get 10 years and deportation though she’s still ahead since she should have been locked up for life in memory of the victims she murdered.

Sick Minds

I’ve lamented often about the despicable actions perpetrated by radical extremist and again this week, hatred reared its ugly head. 46 innocent Nigerian students were murdered and nearly 80 others were wounded by a Boko Haram suicide terrorist who looked just like the students he mingled with, though his backpack was filled with explosives to destroy life rather than books to inspire life. These radicals believe girls should have NO education and boys should only study Koranic teachings. The brainwashing of Islamic Extremism is festering and must be extinguished…sooner rather than later.

Terror Tactics

A billboard inciting terror is seen in Democratic (free speech) Israel (near a large Arab Village) and Facebook postings encourage the increase of car-ramming and spontaneous attacks against Israelis. The “fight” is so frustration when one side incites hatred and encourages the use of evil terror tactics while the other side follows a moral code but continues to bury victims each week. This week’s victim was Almog Shilony who was stabbed to death in Tel Aviv. By the way, the recent Arab anger is due to the attempt of Jews (or non-Muslim) to pray at the Temple Mount which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque aka Dome of the Rock. Jews pray at the Western Wall below the Mount of the ancient Jewish Temple where centuries later the Mosque was built. Sadly though, excuses to incite anger are plentiful in the Middle East. http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Nazareth-billboard-supports-car-terror-attacks-while-alluding-to-ISIS-381257

Detroit is so close to focusing forward as Judge Rhodes approved the Bankruptcy Plan this week but the legal and consulting fees could trip up the success. The estimated fees may have doubled from $100 Million to $200 Million and Mayor Duggan is plotzing over the presumed price tag though the final bill hasn’t arrived. I’ll keep you posted…

James T & Mr. Spock

(Spock’s first name is unpronounceable to humans)

For all you Star Trek fans, here is a pairing (in a German VW commercial) of your favorite characters from the original beloved show. Check out the VW Spock is driving…very cool. By the way, both Shatner and Nimoy are 83 years old but look amazing and of course you know they are also both Jewish.

Bravo to The Netherlands for leading the way in the construction of the First Solar Road in our universe (though I’m not sure of the technological advancements on other planets). These solar road panels are incredible (I raved about them in my May 30th Shabbat message) and now they are in actual usage in a city just north of Amsterdam. Let’s hope they multiply and spread. http://mic.com/articles/103814/the-netherlands-has-solar-bike-paths-and-they-are-awesome

U.S./China Deal

Carbon emissions are poisoning our atmosphere and the two largest creators of these emissions are US and China, but this past week, both leaders bonded over their plan to cut their emissions and improve the planet’s future environment.

Pope’s Wise Advice

There is a reason his is the Pope. I am continually impressed with the messages of Pope Frances and applaud them for using his “stage” to help enlighten our daily lives and bring Peace to the world. Here are his 10 suggestions of how to live a meaningful and fulfilled life.

Several anniversaries occur in Germany this month includingKristallnacht (the night of broken glass), the commencement (Nov. 20, 1945) of the Nuremberg Trials and the tumbling of the Berlin wall. I will be visiting Berlin in April with the Federation’s Women’s Philantropy Mosaic Mission and look forward to learning more about this Capital City. In the meantime, this video shows the 25th anniversary tribute of Balloon Lights that commemorated the Berlin Wall this week.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Pleasant and Peaceful Shabbat Shalom.

It has come to my attention that this week’s Shabbat message may have been caught by your email system’s filter. If you didn’t receive it this morning at 6am, check your “S” or “J” filters or you can read it on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lisa.m.lis

Hallelujah!! Elections are over. No more emails, calls, commercials, mailers… Congrats to all the winners, especiallySenator-elect Gary Peters and MI Supreme Court Justice-elect Richard Bernstein. As our National colors wash DC with a Red Congress and a Blue White House, now is the time to bury the hatchet, work together and find common ground to move our Country forward. It is also time to concentrate on reforming our campaign process that currently only benefits “Madmen” and Media Outlets. We should take the best practices of other countries to limit the $$$s sent on elections, level the playing field, make voting more accessible and easier with the goal of electing Smart Ethical people and once we do that, eliminate term limits so those smart legislators can continue their work.

Salute

Bravo and Hats Off to the brave men and women of our US Military as we honor them next week during Veterans Day. 11/11 was chosen as the date to “Thank” our servicemen since The Great War (aka: WWI) formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day during the 11th month of the year 1918 (side note: that was the year my father was born). There will be many Veterans Day celebrations and perks include a Free day at the Detroit Zoo for all current or former military personal.

Jerusalem

Hamas mayhem ensued AGAIN this week as another evil terrorist rammed his van into a crowd of Israelis in Jerusalem, killing 1 person (an Israeli Druze soldier) and wounding 13 others. Hamas spokesperson called it a “Glorious Operation”and encouraged more of its kind which took place the next day with another attack on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. These leaders are our “partners for peace”. From 1948, their goal has been OUR complete destruction. From Biblical Times, Jerusalem has been (and will always be) OUR home (that we are willing to share). When will leaders emerge who can respect each other and find common ground? What century will Peace arrive to this land?

…And Justice For All.

All United States Administrations (both Republicans and Democratics) have NEVER recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Tel Aviv has always been the US Embassy’s home. With his positions, any US Citizen who is born in Jerusalem will always have ONLY Jerusalem and Not Israel written as their birthplace on their US Passports. This case is again before ourSupreme Court who heard arguments to change the rule but alas the decision holds tight till the next fight. In Plain English, here is a deeper look into this situation:

We are a “Car Talk” loving household in mourning from the loss of Tom Magliozzi. Tom and his brother Ray were a brilliant, humorous and steady presence on our weekend radio for the last 25 years. These two MIT grads dispensed auto mechanical knowledge and relationship advice with ease and humor. Laughter was ever present during the tapping of their shows in “their fair city” Cambridge, MA (pronounced ma). Here are some of Tom’s quotes that epitomizes his optimistic personality:

50,000 runners hoofed it from Staten Island to Central Park last Sunday for the 44th New York City Marathon. The average time was 4.5 hours but the (men’s & women’s) winners (both from Kenya) ran it closer to 2 hours. To see how the runners faired AFTER the marathon, check out this humorous “post-stress” video: http://tinyurl.com/NYCMarathonReaction

Live and Let Die

The right-to-die movement has been brought back to the forefront of our consciousness when 29 year old, Brittany Maynard moved to Portland, OR, where they have a Death with Dignity Act. After being diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer, she legally

ended her life of severe pain on Nov. 1st. When people are faced with this situation, a humane act of loving kindness would be to provide avenues for them to control their Life and Death. YES, it needs to be regulated to restrict abuse, but for those suffering, options need to be in place. Dr. Kevorkian had the right intent but his method to bring awareness to this issue was flawed. Rest in Peace, Brittany:

Happy 45th anniversary to Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie as Nov. 10th (1969) was the date we were first introduced to these fine (feathered and furry) friends. Sesame Street has been seen is 140 countries and continues to maintain its innovative and progressive stance on educating the youth of the nations.

As we transition from the month that focuses on Women’s Health to the month that focuses on the health of Men, enjoy these amazing facial hair accomplishments that come in all shapes, sizes and colors. I like the hue of number 21. Hope you enjoy this unique collection. Not sure if any of the men growing facial hair in honor Movember, could create any as amazing as these: http://twistedsifter.com/2014/10/world-beard-and-moustache-championships-2014-highlights/
